The Colorado Avalanche scored three goals in a span of six minutes early in the third period of a 6-2 victory over the Winnipeg Jets on Friday night at Ball Arena. Nathan MacKinnon and Valeri Nichushkin got the rally started with power-play goals before Artturi Lehkonen gave Colorado a two-goal cushion. Ross Colton tacked on an insurance goal and Devon Toews iced the win with an empty-netter. Zach Parise had the other goal for the Avalanche, who took a 2-1 lead in the best-of-seven series.
Ryan S. Clark is an NHL reporter for ESPN. The fact he scored that quickly is a reflection of how MacKinnon is a perpetual threat. Ever since he first burst into the hockey world's consciousness at age 14, many superlatives have been used to describe MacKinnon's game.
Captain Adam Lowry and Kyle Connor each scored twice to propel the Winnipeg Jets to a 7-6 victory over the Colorado Avalanche on Sunday in Game 1 of their first-round playoff series.
